Milan have officially confirmed that they’ve parted ways with club director Paolo Maldini, following reports that he was actually fired by owner Gerry Cardinale. The news filtered through yesterday evening but the official announcement has now been shared via the clubs official website:
“AC Milan announces that Paolo Maldini concludes his role at the Club, effective as of June 5, 2023.
“We thank him for his years of service in the role, contributing to the return to the Champions League and to winning the Scudetto in 2021/22.
“His day-to-day duties will be performed by a team working in close integration with the first team manager, ultimately reporting to the CEO.”
It’s a surprising turn of events, given that Maldini was so fundamental in the clubs recent success, helping unearth talents like Rafael Leao and Fikayo Tomori, both of whom played a key role in their 2021-22 success.
Reports from Italian media have suggested that there was a breakdown in relations between Maldini and Cardinale, with the Milan legend requesting more investment for the clubs summer transfer window.
